The rating scale and why using it to rate yourself is internalized misogyny.

Ladies you are not a number- don't play into this rhetoric. It is created by the patriarchy and reduces us to objects just like everything else in their playbook does. There are no numbers it's simply silly. One person can view you as a 4 while another views you as an 8 undo this societal brainwashing. We do not enable any part of the patriarchy. Period.

It's gross.

Exactly, it is yet another system created by men and upheld by the patriarchy that dehumanizes women. A woman's beauty simply cannot be captured by a number.

I've refused to do this for over a decade already. People acted as if I grew another head when I said it was sexist for men to rate women so casually. It's such an arrogant thing to do.

Sometimes men asked me to rate them or choose which one of their friends was more attractive, and I said the same thing, I don't rate people because it's disrespectful. Plus they asked me to do those things just as a way to see if they or any of their friends were more likely to have a chance. Don't rate men ladies, even if you say they're a 5/10, they'll be like "but you didn't say I was a 0/10 ;)".
